The Canotier hat has proved to be THE must accessory in a number of Resort 2011 collections. Even Galliano wore one last week for his FW Haute Couture show. I love the versatility of this accessory because it looks great with both formal and casual styles. I leave you some of my favorites!

This week Karl Lagerfeld showed his haute couture collection at the Grand Palais in Paris, starring a giant lion pawing a pearl from witch the models entered the runway.

The collection has a clear postwar inspiration with long skirts-short jacket sets with crystal and rhinestone appliqués, also coats and many tulle A-line dresses. The color palette had navy, brown, camel, gold accents, and very little black, there were no LBDs to witch Karl Lagerfeld stated “Every woman already has a little black dress in her wardrobe anyway”.

Yesterday marked the start of the Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week with the presentation of the Dior collection.

John Galliano declared he was having a ¨floral moment¨, and he had no need to say it since his collections inspiration is more than clear in each of his designs. I loved the volume, the use of color, and especially the mix of textures!
